No
The summary describes a mechanical device for vascular access and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is described as an introducer for diagnostic angiographic procedures, and its intended use is to provide vascular access for cardiovascular devices, not to directly treat a medical condition.

No

The device is an introducer, which is a tool used to facilitate the introduction of other devices (like catheters and guidewires) for diagnostic angiographic procedures, rather than performing a diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "disposable device" and describes physical characteristics and performance studies related to a physical catheter introducer, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide percutaneous vascular access for introducing cardiovascular devices. This is a surgical/interventional procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Percutaneous Catheter Introducer" used in "diagnostic angiographic procedures." While angiography is a diagnostic imaging technique, the introducer itself is a tool for accessing the vascular system, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or diagnostic measurements.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device facilitates access to the body for other procedures, but it doesn't perform a diagnostic test itself.

Description and Intended Use: The Adam Spence Corp. Percutaneous Catheter Introducer (PCI) is a disposable device intended for use in diagnostic angiographic procedures. The Adam Spence Percutaneous Catheter Introducer is intended to provide a means for percutaneous vascular access while minimizing the back flow of blood during the introduction of cardiovascular devices such as catheters and guide wires.

Performance Standards:

  • Performance standards have not been established under Section 514 of the Food, . Drug and Cosmetic Act.
  • ANSI MD70.1-1983. American National Standard for Medical Material Luer Taper ● Fittings - Dimensional Requirements for Luer Lock Fittings
  • ISO/DIS 11070.2: Sterile, Single-Use Intravascular Catheter Introducers, Sections 4. . 7, 9, and 10.

Biocompatibility: All appropriate biocompatibility tests have been performed per ISO 10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices (Per General Program Memorandum #G95-1)

Summary of Substantial Equivalence: The Adam Spence Percutaneous Catheter Introducer has the same intended use as other catheter sheath introducers on the market (ie., Daig Fast-Cath™ Hemostasis Introducer.) Additionally, based on the technological characteristics and performance testing the Adam Spence Percutaneous Catheter Introducer is substantially equivalent in its basic design, construction, material, safety, efficacy and intended use to currently marketed catheter sheath introducer systems.
